Pompano Beach artificial reef death?

[Nick Steele]

Just got home from work and heard on channel 7 that one guy drowned on Miami Beach on Saturday and another died on an artificial reef dive today (Sunday). All they said was he was pulled unresponsive from the water nothing else.

Thanks all,
Nick

Lancaster man found dead in diving incident in Florida

The references to an artificial reef mean they were diving one of the many wrecks in that area.

EDIT: the Story was posted Sunday, but it said the man died Saturday. I could find no information on any other accident.

Thanks more info than I found online.

He died diving the Lady Luck, a large wreck (artificial reef) in Pompano Beach, FL. His wife was on board. Very sad.

 

[Nick Steele]

Where you there by any chance? What was the cause?

 

[scubamaverick]

I was there. Cause is unknown. He may have run out of air or had a medical issue. It is being investigated.

 

[Nick Steele]

@scubamaverick if you hear of the cause please let us know. Sorry you had to be there.

Any updates? We all try to learn from mishaps.

 

[scubamaverick]

I will provide an update when I hear an official cause of death. I am most interested to know if it was a medical issue or if he simply drowned. We won't know until the investigation is complete, which will take a while.
